Profile:
Considering the great start to his Test career - he scored a
century on debut against England at New Delhi in 1964 Hanumant Singh's overall figures may be disappointing. But the
fact remains that he was treated rather scurvily by the
authorities. Being dropped for the tour of Australia in 1967-68
was one of the selection quirks that one finds hard to fathom.
And one failure in the match against New Zealand in 1969-70 was
enough to banish him from the Test scene for good even though
he was still a classy batsman and continued to be a prolific
run getter in domestic cricket.
But if the end was rather melancholic, the early part of
Hanumant's career was very promising. A dashing strokeplayer,
the Prince of Banswara, after the century in his first Test
innings, came close to getting a hundred in his first Test
against Australia at Madras the following season, but was out
for 94. He did reasonably well in the rubbers against New Zealand
and West Indies at home and on the tour of England in 1967. Then
at the peak of his career, came the bolt from the blue when he
was dropped for the tour of Australia. He however continued to
play with outstanding success in the Ranji Trophy and when he
retired after a first class career that stretched over 20 years,
he had scored 6170 runs in the national competition, coming
within striking distance of Vijay Hazare's then record total
of 6312. He scored 15 centuries and in the 1966-67 final
against Bombay, he got 109 and 213 not out. That season he scored
869 runs (124.14) in the Ranji Trophy alone. A shrewd captain,
Hanumant led Central Zone to their first Duleep Trophy triumph
in 1971-72. For long, an executive with the State Bank of India,
Hanumant later became a respected ICC match referee.
